Install EVM Content from the CD-ROM

Note: Install ALL software prior to connecting the

C5515 EVM to the computer !

Note: The user MUST be logged onto w indows with

“Administrative Rights” and any anti-virus software

must be disabled during installations. Please

contact your system administrator if help is needed

in this area.

1. Insert the Code Composer Studio (CCS) v4 DVD into

the computer’s DVD drive and wait for the auto-run

application to start. The user prompts will step the

user through the rest of the CCS installation. The

installation will place a CCS icon on your desktop.

2. At this time plug the C5515 EVM into a USB port on

your laptop or PC. Windows will recognize the new

hardware connection and com plete the hardware

installation automatically. The C5515 EVM will

enumerate as a DSK5510 as they share emulation

drivers.

3. Launch CCS v4 from the shortcut icon on the desktop.

4. A prompt will appear asking for a workspace location.

Each time CCS starts up the main workspace is the

main working folder for CCS. The default location will

be (on Windows XP) “C:\Documents and

Settings\<user name>\MyDocuments\workspace”. To

have CCS automatically default to the specified

workspace location, select the “Use this as the default

and do not ask again” option.

5. Create a user license. After launching CCS, the user

may be prompted to create a user license to activate

the CCS software. Select the “Activate a License”

option. If prompted click “Use Free Limited License”.

This will re-direct you to the Texas Instruments

website to complete the License creation process.

Alternatively, the “Activate a License” step may be

bypassed temporarily and completed at a later date

by clicking “Evaluate Code Composer Studio for 30

days”.

6. If you receive a prompt that automatic updates are

available select “NO” and proceed, You can get

these updates later after successfully running a CCS

session.

CCS Configuration Instructions

1. Launch CCS v4 from the shortcut on the desktop.

(This was created when CCS v4 was installed).

2. The CCS v4 window will appear. Click the “Target”

menu, then select “New Target Configuration File”.

3. The “New Target Configuration” window will appear.

Enter a file name that describes the emulator

connection and/or Texas Instruments device being

used and click “Finish”. For example:

“EVM5515”.

Debug Hints and Trouble Shooting

1. If installing on Windows XP and your PC is connected

to the internet through a firewall the USB install may

take up to 15 minutes if you let it complete normally.

The work-around for this issue is to simply disconnect

your network cable during the USB hardware install.

2. Some of the Help Files are links to Adobe Acrobat

PDF files. If you intend to access these files you must

have Adobe Acrobat installed on your system.

3. If you want to verify a successful USB driver install,

open your device manager by right clicking on the My

Computer icon on your desktop and selecting

Properties --> HW --> Device Manager. You should

see a new class “SD USB Based Debug Tools” and

one Spectrum Digital TMS320C5510 DSK installed.

4. The Embedded EMU BUSY LED (DS1) bes ide the

USB connector comes on when power is applied to

the EVM. Do not launch Code Composer until the

LED is off.

Error Messages

Many of the error messages below refer to USB

enumeration issues. The following window will appear

when launching CCS or the Diagnostic Utility indicating

the enumeration status .

1. Message:

Failed: Requires Win98, Win2 K or Win XP.

Problem: Your operating system does not support

USB.

2. Message:

Failed: USB device is NOT enumerated or pl ugged in.

Problem: Windows cannot find the EVM. Check

power and USB Cable.

3. Message:

Failed: Load USB Application.

Problem: Loader could not download the EVM
